We hail out of Philadelphia where an underground network of artist, musicians, and dancers still thrive. It's a constant source of inspiration and excitement that keeps us motivated. If you could use one word to describe our music it would be "New".
Our music defined is called Hiptronic Electrohop . It's the combination of Hip Hop, Techno , and a dash of everything else with crisp precise lyrical content that everyone can relate to. We make tunes that create a mood of pure energy.
We just finished our inner-city tour, performing at venues all over philadelphia. Now we want to venture out in search of new crowds,moods,and ideas. We are constantly rethinking,remixing,and recording our science. Now all thats missing is to be heard outside our comfort zone.
But that's all about to change. As of this past March, 2008, The New Age has officially been signed to IXiiV Records - a hip hop indie label based in both Philadelphia and NYC. Stay tuned for more shows in both cities and be sure to check us out at their various showcases to be held later this spring.
The New Age includes emcee Traverse, DJ C-Sharp, Grand Master Burner on drums. We also work simultaneously with Surroscape co. which is our multimedia company that creates polymorfic hypermedia. Surroscape has been responsible for the visual aspect of The New Age including maintaining the overall quality of Album artwork and of our website www.newagecrew.com. In live shows Surroscape created visuals that are then projected on to a screen in the background to enhance the performance.
We are now in the process of recording BRAND NEW TRACKS for our first IXiiV Records LP. Seeing as though we just signed to a new label and will be starting a new tour hopefully this summer, we decided to take it back to the beginning and make something "New". Stay New and Stay Tuned... in the meantime, if you've had a chance to see us live, let us know what you think:
